"Mr. Bush, Specialist Young Would Also Like to Speak With You..."



Blogged by Brad on 8/29/2005 @ 7:48am PT...

Mr. Bush, Specialist Young Would Also Like to Speak With You...
BRAD SHOW's 'Operation Noble Cause' Continues...
On RAW RADIO - LIVE from Crawford, Texas at HIGH NOON...

U.S. Army Specialist Tomas Young has some questions for George W. Bush. He's never met with the Commander-in-Chief who sent him into Sadr City, Iraq in a canvass covered truck...

U.S. Army Specialist Tomas Young has some questions for George W. Bush. He's never met with the Commander-in-Chief who sent him into Sadr City, Iraq in a canvass covered truck during a massive uprising in that city on April 4, 2004. The same city on the same day that Cindy Sheehan's son Casey was killed.

Tomas was lucky. He was only paralyzed from the chest down. Amongst other things he'd like to ask of Bush, is why he won't allow funding for stem cell research which might eventually restore the spine that he lost in Bush's War. A spine, as Tomas explained to us yesterday on The BRAD SHOW, which apparently Bush has never had.

Tomas and his new wife Bree (also pictured), came to Crawford from Kansas City on their honeymoon to "stand" in support of Cindy Sheehan.

We'll hopefully have our interview with Tomas up in the BRAD SHOW "Operation Noble Cause" Archives shortly, with much more news, sound and the stories of the people of Camp Casey on today's LIVE BRAD SHOW from Camp Casey beginning at HIGH NOON in Crawford (1p ET, 12p CT, 11a MT, 10a). We are hoping to feature several Bush supporters on today's show!

3. And know too that you fight still, in the real war, and you're VERY brave
A very brave young man. How you can still have the energy and will to fight on, soldier, amazes me. I stand in admiration. I salute you.

21. Yeah, it doesn't look like Specialist Young,..
will ever ride a mountain-bike again. He didn't go AWOL like his "commander (choke)-in chief" did. Makes me want to puke that a man who went AWOL sends people like this into war with absolutely NO JUSTIFICATION. Specialist Young...:patriot:

4. Specialist Young
Sir, you stand taller in terms of courage than the coward who sent you to war under false pretenses. You stand taller, and have more courage, than the lying lunatic who panders to his base by refusing to fund stem cell research. You stand taller, and have honor, a trait which the chickenhawk-in-chief has never possessed, and never will.

I thank you for your service, and your courage. You are a better man than any of the craven cowards who misused you, and deny you a chance to "go on with your life" the way you deserve. I salute you, Specialist Young.

5. I can see the freeper posters now....
"but if Bush meets this maimed Iraqi War Veteran, then he'll have to meet with all the maimed Iraqi War Veterans."

or

"Bush didn't leave you paralyzed from the chest down, God did"

of course there will be the uncreative, predictable rantings about how this soldier is encouraging the evil-doers or that he's hurting America by having an opinion that differs from theirs. :eyes:

I hope Bush meets with him. He deserves answers. I like the picture by the way...his wife has a beautiful smile.

8. You deserve answers, Specialist Young.
You deserve respect from the administration who used you as cannon fodder, cut veterans benefits, and stands in the way of medical research that could help to heal you.







That is one of the most powerful photos I have seen in a while. Nominated.






:cry:

25. Thank you Mr Young for standing up
Cindy needed a powerful voice like yours. Let's see the righties smear a wounded Vet. I know they have in the past, but with the rest helping, I don't think it will work this time.
May God Bless!

26. Thank you, Specialist Tomas Young
you've done way more than should ever be asked of our soldiers. I wish you the best in your new mission. If * is scared of Cindy, he's going to be really scared of real veterans who actually served.
